Abstract
The plant lists of Gladiolus, Crocus and other members of the Iridaceae family grown in the Botanical Garden from 1895 to 2021 are studied, with a supplement for the genus Iris, analyzed in 2019. The nomenclature, synonymy and origin of plant material were arranged. Lists of species grown in the last 126 years are constructed to show that throughout that period at least 448 taxa of wild and cultivated Iridaceae from 30 genera inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 371 taxa out of 21 genera. Out of this number, the genus Gladiolus accounts for 35 taxa (formerly 50), Crocus 7 (formerly 27), while Iris includes as many as 291 species, cultivars and hybrids. The remaining 18 Iridaceae genera are represented by 38 taxa.

Natura Croatica is a scientific journal of the Croatian Natural History Museum in Zagreb. It publishes papers that bring original insight into zoology, botany, geology, palaeontology, mineralogy and petrography, with emphasis on systematics, morphology, ecology. The journal welcomes papers related to research carried out in the Croatian Natural History Museum, as well as in other Natural History museums, departments and collections.
